About Us

In April 2013, I arrived in Milwaukie, Oregon after spending 3.5 years on the mission field in Northern Baja Mexico. Soon I discovered God's purpose in bringing me to Oregon...the homeless community.

Breakfast in Tijuana

This morning we left at 5:00 a.m. to head out to Tijuana. There's a community the lives on a retired dump of Tijuana. It's quite a sight to behold. Trash is sticking out of the ground and walls all around. But it is the home of many families with children. In this community there is a church making a difference. As long as financial support comes in, they serve breakfast at 7am 5 days a week to the children so they can have a good meal before they start school. For some, I'm told it's possibly their only meal of the day.

After we finished serving over 125 kids breakfast, (many of them seconds and thirds), we headed to an orphanage in the area that had recently been moved to a new location. About 2 weeks ago, it seems the Mexican government wanted the building of this orphanage for it's own purposes, so the orphanage needed to relocate. God is good. They relocated to an old hotel right next to the ocean. It's being converted into an orphanage right now, but already we saw that the bedrooms are coming together quite nicely. This new orphanage comes with an indoor swimming pool, ocean view and one of the more affluent neighborhoods in Tijuana. It was great to see another ministry to children. It was great to see how the LORD provided. God is awesome.
